Salamandus Spinks on the Brady
Bill.

Bill.
MR.. EDITER:-Scusein Uncle
Joseph Browns little claim NV 2
or 3 million dollars fur betterments
on the Westun and Atlantick rale.
rode, Mr.. Brady's Johannah bill
seems to be kickin up the biggest
dust in the Legeslacher at present,
an L rite these few lines in order
TO ak your opinion er bout hit.
That Mr. Brady's motives are good
nobody questions, but the bill is
the thing under consideration,
Now Mr.. Editer hit seems to me
that Mr.. Brady tuck the wussest
time that he could er possibly got
fur the Introduction of stitch a
measure. This haz bin powerful
good crap year, that is so fur, aud
stitch a bill az Mr.. Brady's haint
kneeded at all. Eff he had err
struck the Legeslacher wild hit in
1883 | am satisfied hit would er
passed boath houses lack bob tail
herrykane, but folks is maxim
plenty cotton this year an they
haint got no use fur no stitch or
bill. They will pay fur Their ic-
hannah regardless Nv whut Mr..
Brady er nobody elce says. Hit
seems ter me thst Mr.. Brady's bill
is solely a dry weather measure
and twould or looked er heap bet
ter eff he had er waited till a dry
season to fotch hit forward, hut
politics Is so unsartin, eft a fellt +
don't make his record the fust time
ne gifts to the Legeslacher he NAV
never git thar agin. You never
seed a man in your life Mr.. Editer
that thought johannah wuz any
count when seasons wuz dry and
craps wuz pc, and l never seed a
man but whut thought he had
struck the right brand of johaunah
when seasons wuz rainy and craps
wuz good lack they is this year.
Eff Mr.. Brady's bill passes hit
will put about one half of the far
mers of Georgia where they kant
git no johannah at all, and raise
the price to be paid by tother half.
This will be a bad state of affairs
for some of the best farmers in the
state tell us that the judicious use
of johannah is of great advantage
to the flrmer, specially in the wire
grass section of the state. Ibleave
the greatest trouble vid some folks
is, they will go and by a mixture
whose prenciple factor exist already
in great abundance on the land
where the mixture is to be used,
consequently it is of little or no
value Now, under Mr.. Brady's
bill the Dyer of this mixture, bekase
he don't make a good crap kan
plead a failure of consideration. l
promised at the beginning to ak
your erpinion-well here is whut |
wants to know which is the wussest?
for man to plead a failure OF con-
sideration on a johannah note be-
kase he don't make a good crap or
to bye thing en- not know whut
it is jes bekase hits fer sale.

A Monument UnHniIed.

On June Is the first soldiers monument in
WAYNE County was unvailed at Reedsburg.
Although but village Of 600 inhabitants, with
no railroad facilities, fully 5000 people were
present. At 10 o'clock in the morning. pro-
cessiou, composed Of the Jefferson Band, the
Wooster City Guards Grand Army Posts from
every quarter OF the County, and long line oil
citizens in carriages moved to the beautiful lit
tie cemetery half mile distant. The gather
ing was called to order by |. D. Smyser, Chair
man of the Committee of Arrangements, after
which prayer was offered by Rev. J. b. Burger.
The monument was then unyailed according
20 the Grand Army ritual, the exercises being
conducted by Given Post. The Wooster City
nGuaTls then fired a salute of three yolleyS
The remainder Of the exercises were conducted
in a neighboring grove.
Judge Johnson, Of Wooster President Of the
Day, delivered the opening address. He con-
trastcd the difference between the purpose for
which the North and South fought, the theme
OF the discourse being that such monuments
should be dedicated strictly to those who
fought for the right and not to the gallant and
brave in general.
A powerful address was then made by Rev
GeOfge w. Pepper, the eloquent soldier patriot
Of Ashland, who dwelt largely on the valor Of
Union soldiers and the grand results Of the
civil war. The presentation of the monument
to the Trustees Of the Cemetery Association was
made by W. A. Reynolds, editor of the Ash.
land Times. the response by H. Il. Mowrry.
The monument is granite shaft, Is feet
high, surmOunted by 10 cannon-balls. On the
sides are representations of crossed rifles, and
the names of four dead veterans of the war Of
1872, and 16 of the civil war.

husbands command had charged and within
few yards of the woods under whose cover he,
20 years before, had formed his division. The
Pickett men were first formed in line and one
by one advanced and were introduced TO the
wife of their old commander by Col. Clopton,
OF Richmond, Va, by name, stating their regi-
ment and rank. She had word for all and
all had a word for her. The Philadelphia Bril-
gade was next presented. Her son, George
Pickett, stood at her side and when she
dropped hand it was at once grasped by him.
The people then moved to the highest ground
and Col. BacheIder then formed the survivors
of Kemper's Garnett's and Armi5teads Bril-
gades of Picketts Division in the order they
had been when the charge began, and asked
the commander of each regiment to step for
ward and point out the position his command
occupied. When this was done the party onco
more resumed their ride, and took the follow
ing route: Out the Emmittsburg road, along
Siekles's5iine to tho Peach Orchard, thence
across the bloody Wheatield 10 the DEVILS Den,
through the Valley of Death. along the base of
Round Top, thence by the Battlefield Avenue
along the Union line, past the umbrella copse
of trees where Hancock fell wounded, on by
Bloody Angle" the high-water mark of the
rebellion" past Meade's quarters, through the
beautiful National Cemetery, and entered town
by the Baltimore pike, over which the Union
troops retreated after the bloody struggled OF the
first day.
Mrs. Pickett was the center Of attraction on
the field. She had gathered some daisies and
clover heads. A member Of the brigade asked
her for a few. She gave them to him with q
smile, and one by one they were given away to
be treasured as mementOes. Her autograph
was also eagerly sought, and she refused no one.
George Pickett showed the watch his father
carried during the charge. 1t is medium-sized
gold one with the Stars and Stripes and the
Stars and Bars crossed on the lid. On the in
side are the names of the battles in which he
participated in the Mexican war.
To say that Pickett's men were pleased would
be putting it lightly. They were delighted
with everything and everybody. In the words
of an ex-COnfederatc soldier: We are pleased
all to pieces but Cowan's battery this time has
captured us body and soul"
While the band was playing medley of Con-
| federste and Union war Songs, as the veterans
were starting on their ride over the field it
\ struck up Yankee Doodle" Instantly rebel
| yell aud Union cheer showed that the war
song of their fathers, above all others, had
| touched sympathetic chord in the breasts OF
/ both.
| In the evening a religious service Was held.
/ in the absence of the Chaplain, Rev. j. X.
! Demorest Vas asked 20 speak before gathering
OF Pickett's men mainly, in the Courthouse.
/ He spoke to them on the subject Of the day
How much the liberty and brotheriy feeling,
Characteristic of our land, should endear it to
| all its citizens"

Mnnument at Gaii,shurx.

On the morning of July the survivors OF
the 18th n. J. formed at the Eagle Hotel, Get
tysburg. and, led by band, proceeded TO their
monument near Spangler's Spring, in McAllis-
ter's Woods, on the right of the Union line.
At the monument there was an invocation by
Rev. L. Livingston Allen and an address by
Gov. Green. The monument was then IN
vailed by the members of the State Commission,
Col J. NJ. Duffy, Hon. Godfried Kreuger and
Hon. William III. Corbin. and presented to the
18th Regiment Veteran Association by Mr..
Corbin. 1t was accepted by DIR. John III. Love,
and transferred by him to the Battlefield Me-
mortal Association, John NJ Crouth, the Seere-
tary, receiving it in the name of the assOeia-
tion. An address was then made by AdJt- Gen
Stryker, of New Jersey. The Grafton was de-
liyered by Maj.-Gen. Henry w. Slocum. The
monument is one of the finest thus far erected
on the field. 1t is of granite, beautifully cut
and represents sharpshooter with his gun to
his shoulder and his finger pressing the trigger

Gems. Burnside and Meade PeTpatuated In Bronze.
A large equestrian statue of Gen. Burnside
was shipped last week from the foundry Of the
Henry Bounard Bronze Company, New York,
to Providence, r. /. The statue is Ii feet high
and weighs 1900 pounds. 1t will stand on a
pedestal 10 feet high. Ii is gift of a commit
tee OF citizens to the city of Providence. The
sculptor Launt Thompson, received his COM
mission for the work four years ago. 1t took
three years to mould and one year to east in
the bronze. The statue represents Gen. Burn
side looking out over field Of battle. His
SLOUGH hat rests firmly on his head and his
body is inclined 10 the left. The horses reins
are held in the Generals left hand, while in
his right he holds a field-glass resting on the
crup OF the saddle The same firm also shipped
a statue OF Gen. Meade to Philadelphia, where
it will be placed in Paramount Park. The
sculptor, Alexander VI. Calder, received the
order from the city of Philadelphia three years
ago. 1t required nine months TO east and fin
ish the statue Gen. Meade is represented on a
trotting horse. He is sitting erect and looks
straight ahead. He holds the reins in his left
hand. and in his right his military cap, WHICH
rests against the horses side. OF the two
statues this is. perhaps, the better one. The
veins in the Generals face and hands and in
the horses limbs are we'll marked. The clothes
hang loosely and naturally, and the rinkles in
the brow are very natural The statue is Il
